Mantia Painter/Clay Sculptor

Artwork has always been a part of my life. I'm an artist with two backgrounds, commercial art, and fine art. For the past 38 years I worked in the commercial field. I made my living as a commercial artist, and maintained the joy of doing abstract fine art. I enjoyed this freedom, and would at times incorporate my ideas for use in commercial projects.

Today in my senior years, I been able to spend time on the fine art side of my career. It keeps me thinking, dreaming, visualizing, and growing. Iím a realist, and enjoy this time of being creative. Tropical scenery is my canvas, the ocean, the beach, and people are my subject matter. I use vivid colors and have done so throughout my career. It is the common thread in all my work, commercial, abstract, or realism.

My primary goal as an artist is to keep my attitude positive, and to communicate joy, fun, laughter, and happiness. My style is impressionistic, pop, and contemporary. My products are paintings, photographic digital images, and clay sculptures. Let me know what you think about my work.
